The National Mission for Manuscripts has taken the initiative of publishing critical editions of rare and previously unpublished texts under the title Krtibodha .

The first of the Krtibodha series was Vādhūla Gṛhyāgamavṛttirahasyam of Nārāyaṇa Miśra critically edited by Braj Bihari Chaubey. The text is a versified commentary on the Vadhulagahyasutravrtti, which itself is a short commentary on Vadhulagahyasutra. The text is important for the wealth of information it contains on domestic rites and rituals, especially related to Grhya and Smartakarma. It also has reference to other important texts such as Katha-Aranyaka, Vadhulagam and Vrata Sangraha which have so far remained unknown.
